Remarks:
beautiful Bunna, very strong with over 60%, but easy to enjoy undiluted.

Overall I rate this Whisky 89/100 points

  • Nose: 89/100 points
    Strong start, the alcohol content is clearly noticeable, strong sherry aromas, raisins, dried fruits, dark berries, a bit sour in the background and slightly sweet, after a while in the air the alcohol decreases and chocolate and caramel appear. A light smoky note floats with it, as well as a light salty breeze

  • Taste: 89/100 points
    Powerful start, slightly tart, lots of dried fruits, pepper, sweetish, nuts, caramel, slightly sweet, some chocolate

  • Finish: 89/100 points
    nice strong finish, sherry aromas are clearly present, very spicy and yet slightly sweet with nuts or chocolate, very long.
